Executive Team Advantage - FAQs

 
  Q. Is the Executive Team Advantage Program right for me?
If your answer is “yes” to the following four questions, you may be a candidate for the Program:
  1. You are an “executive” in that you have a job title of “Director” or above at an organization (business, education, government, not-for-profit).
  2. You have three or more “direct reports” who are responsible for different functional aspects within your organization.
  3. There is a performance gap. You believe your team is not working up to its full potential.
  4. You are personally committed to closing this performance gap by making an investment of your time and money.

 
 
Q. What makes this program different from other team or leadership
workshops?


The Executive Team Advantage is NOT about team training or organizational leadership. It’s about carving out space in your already hectic schedule to invest strategic thought to the success of your team. As such, we introduce concepts, tools and techniques that you may (or may not) be aware of, share best practices and create plans forward.

This is the ONLY program, according to our research, that is singularly focused on providing support to executives to ensure their direct reports are successful. Our format is unique and energizing for executives who want to push well beyond satisfactory results and aggressively pursue excellent results.

 
 
Q. Is this a program to help “sick” teams get better?

No. This program is NOT for dysfunctional teams. It is specifically designed to help good teams or even excellent teams become extraordinary! To ensure this is the appropriate program for you, each candidate and his or her direct reports will be asked to complete a web-based profile prior to registration.


 
 
Q. How can this Program possibly help my Leadership Team when they
aren’t even in the sessions?

When the “voice of the team” needs to be heard, we have several assessments and assignments to ensure you are considering the opinions of your direct reports.

After each session, we highly encourage you to share your insights and your plan with your leadership team. We have found this simple act alone creates tremendous team awareness!

 
 
Q. How will I know if my team is improving?

Most team-based workshops don’t even try to quantify results. We do. We measure progress of your plan’s four focus areas. We compare your initial team profile assessment at the beginning of the program to the end of the program. Finally, your team will tell you in their words and actions.

Expect to see the following outcomes:

  • Greater results/achieve targets
  • Calmer, smoother, more efficient operations
  • Better communication
  • Better execution of tasks and programs
  • Greater accountability and integrity
  • Greater appreciation for contributions of others
  • Better teamwork.

 
 
Q. What are the “options” for?

The “options” are a menu of choices to answer specific questions and support implementation of the concepts and tools of the program. Offered on a monthly basis, the options include coaching phone calls, assessment reviews, teleconferences and feedback sessions.


 
 
Q. How many people participate in the Executive Team Advantage Program?

A maximum of twenty participants.


 
 
Q. How much is the tuition?

$3,500 for the year. The tuition is non-refundable and due upon acceptance into the program. You can pay by major credit card, check or company purchase order. You pay your own expenses (travel, lodging) to get to McLean, VA. Breakfast and lunch are included.


 
 
Q. Are there make up sessions?

No. You must block your calendar for all four sessions and make the commitment to be at all four sessions. There are no refunds.


 
 
Q. How much preparation is required for each session?

Each session will have some “homework” to include a few pages of reading, an assessment, which may or may not include your direct reports, and commitment to the plan you develop for the next ninety days!


 
 
Q. How do I get accepted into the Program?

If you meet the criteria, complete the registration form. Kristin will call you to ensure alignment between your goals and the Program’s goals as well as a” fit” with the other participants. (It’s important to us that we ensure a highly supportive, non-threatening and non-competitive environment). If there is a good fit, we will send you a link to the web-based survey to complete within seven days. Based on the results of the survey, Kristin will extend an invitation for you to participate.
